All these teams
were introduced in 1978-79 (the rugby teams were also expanded in this era). The
illustrations are from the 1979 catalogue. This rapid expansion just preceded the change to machine painted
figures, so these figures are available as heavyweights, or Zombies. Those that
survive to 1981-82 should also be available as lightweights. Countries welcomed to the Subbuteo fold
here include Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Portugal, plus we see the first batch of North American Soccer League teams,
(see also 540-560). Some of these teams were available under different numbers
in Italy in 1976-77 prior to arriving in the UK range. See the Italian
Production for details.
